Re: Westfield Village Phase 6
Turnaround Requirements
Dear Mike,
This letter should serve as response to your e -mail dated July 7, 2003, a copy of
which is attached for reference.
In March of this year, a preliminary plat was submitted for Phase 6 of Westfield
Village. This plat included Victoria Avenue and Mountain Breeze Way across the
length of the project, as well as the intersection of these two boundary streets.
This submittal was subject to a stop review due to non - compliance with the
zoning of the property. While Ordinance Chapter 9, Section 6 -B.2.1 requires that
subsequent phases of a master preliminary plat may only be developed if
adjacent to each other, Staff believed that the connection to the north via Victoria
Avenue provided sufficient traffic access for the project.
After the project was rezoned, a revised preliminary plat was submitted in June
that no longer included Mountain Breeze, and only included Victoria Avenue up
to the curb return points of the intersection with Mountain Breeze. Rather than
reject the roadways as dead -ends, staff interpreted that temporary turnarounds
on Victoria Avenue and Night Rain Drive would effectively make them temporary
cul -de -sacs to avoid the dead -end street prohibition requirement.
As in all such requirements, applicants have the option of modifying their
proposal in any number of ways to address the issue, or to request a variance
from the P &Z. As you are well aware, we are able to take variance requests to
the same meetings as the preliminary plats to avoid time delays, and have done
so for you and your clients on other occasions. I believe your options in this

Yes , We reviewed this with Mike. I think Natalie was also in the meeting. We told Mike it was fine with us
if it could be approved in Dev. Serv. The street alignment gives us additional property and good access to
the park.

Steve, Ric...
Can either of you tell me whether you have had conversations with Mike McClure and /or Randy French
concerning this subdivision? This is along Victoria between Graham and Baron.
The plat shows a residential street crossing park property, the park that was dedicated with Westfield
Addition PH 1.
The plat also shows dedication of approx. 0.5 acres of land to parks. Compensation?
Please let me know if you have verbally okay'd this or not and we can proceed with the plat review. It is my
understanding that this item is to be on the Board's agenda for April.
Is constructing a street on park property something Steve can approve? Board approve? Needs
referendum approval?
Thank you for your response.

Are you guys checking e-mail while in San Antonio? Let me know if I need to come down there to further
discuss this urgent item.

Mr. McClure,
The temporary turnaround is required per ordinance. If you wish, you may build the
intersection, which would serve the same purpose, rather than surfacing that area twice.
If you have any question, let me know.

I looked at the PDD rezoning and Concept Plan. I feel like the lot
configuration can change as long as you're able to maintain a pathway
system similar to the Concept Plan. It showed an 8' pathway along
Victoria to connect with the City's park and ultimately the elementary
school. The change that you're proposing results in fewer lot. I don't
see a conflict.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
